How to build a marshmallow igloo

I'm sure there are lots of tutorials out there, videos even. So I'll be quick.

Here's what you need:

A plate

A disposable plastic bowl, the size you want your igloo to be

A disposable plastic cup for your igloo's entrance

A bag of miniature marshmallows

A lemon

A sh**load of powdered sugar

Patience

This is how it's done:

Cut 1/3 off your cup, place it on the plate.

Cut the shape of your "entrance" in your bowl, use some tape to fix

Squeeze your lemon, just use a couple of drops and mix them into the powdered sugar. You want a thick consistency.

Now start building! Dunk your mini marshmallows into the sugar/lemon icing and basically build your way around and up your plastic structure!

The marshmallows are really forgiving. They allow another one to squeeze inbetween them if necessary! To be honest I expected this edible craft to end up at CraftFail like so many others of my projects. Hey, I am happy to reaport that this one turned out just fine! :-)

Happy New Year!New Year - new (writing) challenges! I decided to join A 'lil HooHaa's 20 Days of Chill!

I guess the "chill" refers to the temps, not the relaxing part. Wouldn't that be cool, though, retiring to a mountain cabin like the one I chose for my winter blog room and do nothing else but sleeping, eating and writing.

Starting today we are going to post about a preset, random topic every week day!

Today's prompt is

Explain your blogNice to meet you! I'm Tamara, aka Swiss part-time working (hockey) Mom! This is me with my 8yo son and hockey aficionado, Colin. He just got his very own brand new pair of skates, so he's happy. If he's happy, I'm happy.

When I started this blog in June 2012, it was because I felt Facebook was not the right platform for capturing my life as a part-time working Mom. I wanted something less short-lived than one post in a million you quickly "like&q…

More often than not I find myself running out of time and energy when preparing for a holiday party because I want to do more than I can handle.

Plus I can't bring myself to do meal planning during the year, why should I start now?

This whole topic goes to prove that I don't just pick themes for my own writing pleasure ;-) But hey, it's called "challenge" for a reason. So here goes:

Nov 24: Launching the 2016 Elf on the Shelf season! Very excited! It's gonna be Cookie's fifth season at the Gerber's house, so no matter how creative you think I am... I may run out of ideas! Pinterest is full of posts, but they're usually repetitive, and some include the Elf's making a mess and Mommy's cleaning i…

Booze and BongosOh my goodness, this prompt makes me feel old! I associate those words with a beach party in Brazil, probably following a carnival parade. Girls in skimpy bikinis - if any - long hair and pouty lips surrounded by hot guys with six-pack abs and passionate eyes. Samba is being played, and Caipirinhas are being slurped, everybody is rollicking.
